Artfully Insane

Artfully Insane is a tattoo and piercing shop in Jeffersontown, Kentucky, located at 2604 Bardstown Rd. It holds a rating of 4.70 based on 459 reviews. Customers describe tattoo work that began with their own concepts and came back as well executed pieces of art, including fine line work, and piercings that range from earlobes and noses to belly buttons and dermals. Reviewers note short waits, artists who explain each step as they work, and a front desk that is courteous and patient. The shop takes tattoo inquiries by email and asks that reference images be attached so its artists can prepare.

The studio presents itself with a playful institutional theme, greeting visitors with a memo from "The Administrator" that welcomes them to the padded room and warns them not to tease the inmates. That same notice describes the artists as displaying a high degree of motor skill and cognitive function, a natural aptitude for the arts, and remarkable attention to cleanliness and detail. It also notes, with tongue in cheek, that the subjects have started working as a group and should be monitored at all times.

Artfully Insane has built a following on the strength of its rating and the volume of customer feedback behind it, with 459 reviews reflecting consistently positive experiences across both tattoos and piercings. Repeat visits are common among those reviews, including customers who returned for a second piercing and others who say it is the only place they trust for piercings and their choice for future tattoos. For tattoo and piercing work in the Jeffersontown area, that record of satisfied customers is what the shop is known for.
